If the new SIM is working, and I backed up the Iphone-4, why do I need to to RESET and Restore, as mentioned in the "About Unlocking" instruction?
I think you haven't told us the whole story. If the phone was working on multiple carriers before it was officially unlocked it was hacked to do so. If it wasn't, and you haven't seen the message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked" then you must still Restore iOS on it to get this message.

How do i back up my iPhone to iTunes without having to type in the password on my phone?
Basically i have a broken iPhone screen and the touch doesn't work, Therefore i cannot put in the password on my phone to allow iTunes to back it up on my Mac OR my Windows laptop so i don't loose everything on there, Is there a way to bypass this so i can back it up without having to type the password?
I have done this but it says for me to back up my iPhone I have to type the password in on my actual phone to unlock it to the homepage, I can't do that as the touch on my screen has broken, I just want to know if there is anyway I can skip that step so I can just back it up as a normal unprotected password phone.

I backed up my iPhone to iTunes, but can't find my photos and they need deleting
Hi, I'm new to this but I will really appreciate your help if I ever get this sorted.
I have an iPhone 5s and it is completely full to the point where I can't take anymore photos or save any more, its so frustrating, also I'm taking this phone back this weekend to the apple store for a replacement because it's faulty. So I backed it up on my boyfriend's laptop, on iTunes - then I checked the whole computer - all the folders for my photos, I only found one folder with 100 photos - when I've got 2,300 on my phone.... But the back up was complete. So I don't know what to do, because the photos need deleting to free up memory. When I try to delete photos from Collections - it says "This photo will also be deleted from photo stream on all your devices". Help please!
Thanks!An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it.

Where are my Camera Roll pics n videos saved in iTunes(Laptop) when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes?
I backed up my iPhone today in order to save my Camera Roll pictures and videos safely in my Laptop and then I deleted them from my iPhone to make some free space.... And I want those pictures and videos in future back into my iPhone. So I know I must restore my iPhone from back up to get back the camera roll pics and vids. But what I want to know is, where are those pictures and videos saved in my Windows Laptop when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes today? There must be some folder of iTunes or somewhere in the iTunes software where they must be saved after backing up. I want to see them on my Laptop now but how can I do that?
I did not import them, I backed up my iPhone to my Laptop using iTunes.
I want to see those pictures on my Laptop since I deleted them from my iPhone after backing up. Where are they in my Laptop now???they are in the backup file that, sadly, is not accesible unless you restore it to a phone... if you want/need access to them, you should import them

when i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again? because, i don't know most of my passwords im just signed in to everything on my phone but i'm getting a new one.
please helpHey menaelraghy,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what is backed up, you may be interested in this section:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
- Keychain (includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications)
If you encrypt the backup, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you're restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you need to enter these passwords again.
Thanks,
Matt M. -

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program/service that you have chosen to sync.

i backed up my iphone to itunes and tried restoring the info on to a new iphone and for some reason it used an old back up from last may. I know that the recent back up worked as I used it to set up another phone a week ago (a phone whihc also had problems and hence I needed to use that same back up again on my second new phone. Is there anyway I can get the most recent back up information back?
1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad. -
I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.
If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used? -

Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?
can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?
Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

I can not back up my iPhone. It says I need more storage space. I purchased more space and icloud says it is there, but the phone is not recognizing this and continues to say that I need to purchase more space in order to back it up. Any ideas?
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(
The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?
